"I think an decent OS from Google would change Microsoft's prices over night.
You say what Yahoo and Hotmail did when GMail made the scene." -- From Alias
Great point, Alias. Do you possibly know when Google might release this
operating system? Thank you for your comments because I for one really
appreciate them. You are right about G-mail changing Yahoo and Microsoft's
mail system. I for one still have not used G-mail but I have used yahoo and
hotmail before. Have you used G-mail and do you like it? Finally, I am glad
competition companies like Google and Mozilla exist in order to give some
competition to competitors and therefore raise the stakes and help prevent
too much mediocrity from entering into the software arena.
